I'm not hating on him lol, i'm just brutally honest in my assessment on him.

Also those 20+ minutes aren't all i have seen of him, i saw him in college, summer league etc etc.

Nothing i have said is born out of hatred, it's born out of analysing his performance and skillset that i feel he's being overrated. ( that's not his fault though) And of course i feel his performance was bad, i don't feel that's exactly unfair either tbh.

Also of course i was talking about Simmons lol, it would be blasphemy to suggest some of the other guards who are more scorers than passers are better playmakers.

If Simmons didn't count then he would have a much higher chance, although i still think Dennis Smith Jr has a higher chance than Lonzo for a few reasons.

More athletic = more eye catching highlights, Dallas are a better team and Dirk will give him at least 3 assists a game probably by himself.

I think DSJ has a good chance because of the low turnover in personel. He can slot right in and fit into an existing scheme set in place in Dallas. It's so important for these rookies. That's something we've never really had.

Still think Lonzo is absolutely special. Have him and Simmons as by far the two best prospects of the last two years. Simmons a little above because I feel his floor is higher, but Lonzo has a higher ceiling imo.

I think he'll get a triple double tonight if he plays.

Rob & I were able to get our first choice this evening. Laker Nation get ready, we are off to a great start. Welcome to the team Lonzo Ball!

I said it earlier, he could have easily had 12+ assists on another night/for another team

Chris Paul had 11 assists against the Warriors, I consider him to be one of the premier point guards in the league in the essence of being a play maker first and I don't think he even had a particularly good game against the Warriors, just players can actually hit shots on that team

Not to mention, he played a playoff team. Watch him feast on the Suns later

Giannis is incredible, and Brogdon looks fantastic. Love doing well isn't surprising, Thon is still developing and needs to work on his weight. He can switch onto different forwards and even guards, but that ability comes with the downside of getting beat up at times from centers who are more aggressive if he doesn't have help.

I don't watch NBA often, I always forget how many superstar calls LeBron gets. Favored on offense and defense lmao

EDIT: Cavs go on like an 8-0 run right after I talk about the Bucks staying with them ffs.
